It's too bad that it is yet another smart watch that looks like 25c toy from a grocery store vending machine. Why do all these look so cheap and dumb? The only one I've seen yet that actually looks like something I'd want to wear is the Moto 360.

Samsung's new S2 Classic might be something you are interested in terms of design.

That does look quite nice. I like the idea of mechanical feedback with a rotating bezel. If I get a smart watch, I want it to still be primarily a watch, and then some smart benefits on the side. Thanks for sharing.

That's actually an interesting way to look at it. I always looked at it as the next step for phones, but to just consider it a watch with some extra features never really occurred to me.
